: Anybody who likes guns is likely not going to vote for Justin Trudeau anyway. He should do what everybody else wants: Ban all guns, and put more money behind enforcement and the halt of illegal gun imports.We are in favour of forcing all Canadian owners of handguns and other still-legal weapons to keep them in lockable facilities at gun clubs. Guns would not be allowed elsewhere and would only be discharged on club grounds.
As for rifles and shotguns owned by licensed and responsible hunters and farmers, they should be allowed to be kept at home, but only under lock and key in safes. We personally would have no problem legally registering them with the federal government, as long as it can be done without costing taxpayers billion of dollars.
My wife and I enjoy eating meat I acquire with a legal gun and hunting licence. While I do not relish the act of killing deer or elk during a hunt, I have no choice if we want to eat what we perceive to be healthy, humanely killed red meat. And what about First Nations that practise a traditional hunt? A knee-jerk reaction to gun control in Canada seems neither fair nor smart.Conservative MP Pierre Paul-Hus criticizes the government for using “immediate emotion” to ban assault weapons.
GlobeDebate In the USA no mass shooter has ever been killed or shot by a civilian to protect themselves. It's always the cops!
GlobeDebate Stop giving the NS shooting as an example of how fun ownership could saves lives! That's BS!!! Which one of you would shoot at a RCMP uniform wearing serial killer? Even real RCMP officers didn't thinking he was one of theirs.
GlobeDebate Please dont tackle gun crime in city's now. If cops start carding as a knee jerk now we will be having savage riots. The potential is there bigtime all the elements and opportunity exist for mayhem. Somethings got to give.
GlobeDebate The headline they've given the comment is completely at odds with the letter it is part of, which calls for stricter rules and bans. A little deceptive... bait and switch?
GlobeDebate Yes... somehow despite large numbers of comments criticising this ban in the globe and mail article sections all they manage to find for the letters section is ones supporting stricter gun laws and bans. It's almost as if they have an agenda to push.
GlobeDebate This man is a frigging moron. The criminals don't care what the government do with gun laws they would continue to smuggle the worst kinds of weapons. It's the law abiding gun owners is the ones held responsible for the criminals using illegal guns.
GlobeDebate From what I understand Canada already had many laws prohibiting American type guns. Under Canadian laws we were only allowed guns with 5 bullets in the gun and we never had licensed gun users with Rambo type guns. And it takes months of testing and training for Canadians to
sunny_days62 GlobeDebate Trudeau is an idiot and so are the people who voted for him
GlobeDebate No one needs a semi automatic assault weapon. Case closed. You might want one .....but you dont need one. Get a new hobby ffs.
GlobeDebate Who is the Globe and Mail listening to with this article. This looks like a promotion of the Conservative Party platform.
GlobeDebate We’re in a recession so in liberal backwards world we should kill another industry and spend more massive tax dollars on a virtue signal for votes. A side from the blatant and untabled grasp at freedoms, the financial stupidity alone is astounding. What a disgrace.
GlobeDebate Trudeau should resign he is a skid mark and has done nothing but divide this country. 7 million gun owners, 5 million votes for the liberals...
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate Stay tuned. This is a great start but more needs to be done.
GlobeDebate The only knee jerks here are from the jerks reacting negatively to this announcement. So predictable!
GlobeDebate Yes, I feel for those 'law-abiding gun owners' who possess assault rifles. NOT.
GlobeDebate So when the next pm does this to say abortion or healthcare and makes cganges with no debate you are all ok with it? Didnt think so
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate Trudeau did not ban guns on indiginious people's land , check it out lots of shooting on Indiginious properties , and why not ?
GlobeDebate Imagine waking up to find that the govt has decided you are a risk to society, a crimal not to be trusted. For a firearm you ave used safely and responsibly for 35 years. Without any parliamentary process! Hmm, who cannot be trusted? Hypocrites like liberals 😡🤬
GlobeDebate They banned drugs 50 years ago and can’t keep them out of prisons. Overdoses are rampant. Laws only effect those willing to follow them. Leaving defence to the police worked well in NS.
GlobeDebate Maybe your readers are the minority of this country. Most of Canadians support this measure taken by Trudeau.
GlobeDebate I just love the press that for clicks gives such a large voice to the minority. The vast majority of Canadians are ecstatic that a Canadian leader finally took a tough stance on guns. Bravo JustinTrudeau 👏👏👏👏👏
GlobeDebate For all the supporters of this do you support the banning of alcohol to stop family domestic violence as well as deaths from DUI’s. Remember you don’t need any courses to obtain alcohol.
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate Less of these guns lying around to get stolen or sold off illegally the better.
GlobeDebate Trudeau is following a deliberate agenda that has nothing to do with the well-being if Canadians.
GlobeDebate Hey fordnation! This is the type of sociopathic Yahoos you get when they feel entitled to carry assault weapons! Neonazis, nra_ crazies, religious zealouts, AndrewScheer and Saudi-lobbyist PeterMacKay! Thank goodness we don't live South of 49th!
GlobeDebate It will go to parliament. Full effect in 2022 and there will be a grandfather clause. Smuggling guns into 🇨🇦? That’s a border problem and CBP have a budget for this. It was a campaign promise.
GlobeDebate Sorry New Zealand did it. They are much better off. Now we can tackle the illegal guns with stiff penalties and or deportation if need be
GlobeDebate At the least there should be a vote on it.
GlobeDebate I fully support the PM. Very smart move & the right decision.
GlobeDebate I just hope it doest impose on our First Nations who use guns for food hunting.
GlobeDebate Sooo proud of our P.M. He values human life more than guns. I’m with 80% of Canadians. 👍
GlobeDebate It's not knee-jerk. We've been talking about it for decades (yes, decades). And it was part of the Liberal election platform.
GlobeDebate Oh FFS...
GlobeDebate Best thing he has done. Stop thinking like an American. There is ZERO reason for civilian population to have military grade weapons. NONE.
GlobeDebate Again.. globe and mail are saying assault weapons just got banned when they have been banned for decades. Jeez, you fked up your headline yesterday and then again today. That’s why you are fake news
GlobeDebate NRA sponsored article probably instigated by Fife
